Wireshark doesn't look so hot on OSX

Wireshark on OSX is not so nice to look at.  I found this small change made a big difference. 
  1. Go into XQuartz output settings and change the color settings to "Millions".
  2. Open a terminal and enter the following:
sed -i -e 's/gtk-font-name="Lucida Grande 12"/gtk-font-name="Lucida Grande 9"/g' /Applications/Wireshark.app/Contents/Resources/themes/Clearlooks-Quicksilver-OSX/gtk-2.0/pre_gtkrc
netsecneophyte$ sed -i -e 's/gtk-icon-sizes = "gtk-menu=16,16:gtk-dialog=48,48:gtk-dnd=32,32:gtk-button=20,20:gtk-large-toolbar=24,24:gtk-small-toolbar=16,16:inkscape-decoration=12,12"/gtk-icon-sizes = "gtk-menu=16,16:gtk-dialog=24,24:gtk-dnd=32,32:gtk-button=20,20:gtk-large-toolbar=16,16:gtk-small-toolbar=10,10:inkscape-decoration=6,6"/g' /Applications/Wireshark.app/Contents/Resources/themes/Clearlooks-Quicksilver-OSX/gtk-2.0/pre_gtkrc
Restart Wireshark and it's not nearly as hideous on OSX.
